Plas Dinam Country House Wedding Venue Wales

If you’ve been looking at my pictures it won’t have taken you long to realise I love a mountain backdrop, and Wales has some of the most beautiful. Whenever I see a Welsh wedding venue come through in my enquiries, my eyes light up. Plas Dinam Country House is one of the most stunning Welsh wedding venues I’ve been lucky enough to visit. It’s a gorgeous, old, country mansion, with converted stables for your reception, and it’s surrounded by the most stunning mountains – everything you could want.

The whole place has this sophisticated and rustic feeling. It’s a family run place, and they’re super relaxed and flexible. You can really make your day here your own. Here’s everything you need to know for your Plas Dinam Country House wedding .

Venue Lowdown

Built in 1873, just outside Llandinam in mid Wales. Plas Dinam Country House has everything you’d want for a classy, rural wedding venue. Exposed stone, big archways, and wooden beams. I’m giving the windows a special mention too because they just make it look great inside and out. Plus, a firepit, pizza oven, and glamping area! Surrounding the house, there’s stone footpaths and tiered lawns, so it gives you loads of places to take pictures with a really grand backdrop, whether you’re looking onto the house or the grounds.

Wedding Prep and Accommodation at Plas Dinam

When you book Plas Dinam for your wedding day you get the whole house exclusively for at least two nights. Meaning you can make your wedding a non-stop 3 day celebration. The country house has 15 bedrooms, sleeping up to 34 people. If this isn’t enough, the lodge house has another 3 bedrooms, the Chauffeurs loft has 2 bedrooms, and in summer there are 9 glamping bell tents. Your dogs will get a warm welcome at Plas Dinam too. 

As with everything at Plas Dinam, there are lots of options for which room to get ready in. All the rooms are huge – so you definitely won’t be short of space – and most also have en suite bathrooms. This makes Plas Dinam perfect for prep pictures as there’s plenty of space for you both to get ready seprately in equally gorgeous places. All the rooms are also equipped with the Plas Dinam standard – bloody huge windows – meaning its the perfect place to get ready in.

Your ceremony at Plas Dinam County House

As if the grounds weren’t enough, there are a few different spaces to host the ceremony – two elegant halls with lots of light (so important when you’re picking a venue), the stables, by the archway entrance, the lawn behind the house, the forest in front, or out in the grounds themselves, so you can soak up that gorgeous view in front of you. There’s even a church walking distance if this is something that’s important to you . Which one you go with is all down to you. You might want might an indoor space that you can decorate to make it your own, or you might want an outdoor space to let the beauty of the venue speak for itself. You’ve got options to make it personal to you.

All these options also mean it’s great for all sizes of weddings. You can have up to 160 guests at Plas Dinam if you’re looking for a huge celebration, but you can also host a micro wedding here and it still feel cosy and intimate.

Around Plas Dinam Country House Wedding Venue

I love an adventure (and you probably do too if you’re looking at my work) so exploring the grounds at Plas Dinam for couple pictures was one of my highlights. It’s such a beautiful place, we were spoilt for choice! There’s really wonderful winding pathways through the forest and a beautiful greenhouse full of grape trees. You want the character of the venue to come through in your pictures, and to capture the atmosphere of the day. I believe couple pictures should be romantic, beautiful, and fun – Plas Dinam’s grounds are just perfect.

Plas Dinam has you covered for your whole photo checklist – bay windows to sit by with the gorgeous natural light on your faces, a big garden for those group photos, and a courtyard to have everyone surrounding you for your confetti shots. And if the weather takes a turn, you have the arch doorways, the glass roofed stables, and the greenhouse – all of which are beautiful and you’ll want to stop at anyway. Plas Dinam is definitely a year round venue. The glass roof of the stables and huge windows of the main house means it still lets in plenty of light in winter, and in the summer you have masses of outdoor space to soak up all the sun and views.

Your recepiton at Plas Dinam

You might not even do that much in terms of decorating at Plas Dinam – one, because it’s got such a stunning, rustic look, and two, because they’re big on DIY weddings (no corkage fee by the way). There’s a lot of beautiful spaces at Plas Dinam, but the glass roofed stables is the perfect mix of classic and modern – it makes for a beautiful reception no matter the weather and is what makes this venue one of my absolute favourites. Picture dancing the night away, under the stars with all your favourite people around you. 

Plas Dinam is a self catering venue, giving you the freedom and control over who you choose to cater your wedding day. They do however offer lots of local supplier recommendations to help you out.

This place really does have it all and you can party the night away, until last orders at 12.30pm with only a very short walk back.

Styling Plas Dinam Country House

If you want your wedding to look its absolute best with minimal stress why not hire a wedding stylist to come and create the day you’ve always imagined.
